Mobile devices are all around us, and it seems as if every day more uses for the devices are being thought up. How can we better prepare our students to use these devices in their everyday lives? By incorporating them into our classrooms! Join a group of educators who are already using mobile devices in education to jump start you integration! This is hands-on, so bring your cell phone and computer.

By the end of the session, participants will have various ideas for how you can use mobile devices both in and out of the classroom, from a quick response system to mobile reporting. = Intro = media type="custom" key="7480239" = Liz Kolb: Leader in Cell Phones in Instruction = Toys to Tools: Connecting Student Cell Phones to Education Research: http://cellphonesinlearning.wikispaces.com/necc2008 Blog: @http://www.cellphonesinlearning.com/ Delicious: @http://delicious.com/elikeren/Cell
